What do I do to close eform on screen and display response of web service in another screen.?

Question

Hi,
I am trying to build following functionality.
I want to submit form to a web service through SOAP request on click of a button.
I want to display response of web service like “form has been submitted successfully” on screen.
What has been achieved.
I am able to submit form to an adobe web service passing base64 string to adobe process.(see the script in image#1).
When I receive base64 string in adobe process, I am able to re-generate document (using getDocFromBase64(/process_data/@inputStr) ).
After that I am returning a message string to as response “Form submitted successfully”.
When I get the response I populate response to a text field variable (Out Str). See image#2
Problem/Desirable functionality.
I want to close this eform and display the message “form has been submitted successfully” on another page in browser so that it depicts to end user that form has been submitted successfully with confirmation.
What do I do to close eform on screen and display response of web service in another screen.?

Method1: This method only works in same PDF window.
On the click of the submit button, based on the webservice result we can close the PDF. As you already having in the "Out Str", this variable having detailed message kind of thing, so it would be easier if you have one more output variable to know if this submission is success or failure or can use the "Out Str", it self to compare and close the PDF.
Here i am using "strResult" to hold webservice success or failure using true/ false values.
Get the "strResult" value from binded field of webservice response and compare and close or display messages based on requirement.
var strResult = YourFieldname.rawValue;
                    if(strResult != "" && strResult != null){
                              if(strResult.toUpperCase() == "TRUE"){
                                        xfa.host.messageBox("Successfully Saved the Data.", "Submit Confirmation", 3,0);
                                        //Close the PDF
                                        app.execMenuItem("Close");
                    else{
                              xfa.host.messageBox("Failed to Save the Data.", "Submit Confirmation", 3,0);
If the result need to show in separate window and having LiveCycle process connected to PDF via. webservice or REST:
Method2. If the PDF inside the browser
Type1 - You can set the process output is document variable, this PDF may contain your static/dynamic message and this PDF. But with this method result PDF opens in same window, host pdf will be disappeared.
Type2 - You can set the process output is string variable, this STRING may contain your static/dynamic message. In this method the string will be appered in the same PDF window, host pdf will be disappeared.
Method3. If the PDF is stand alone (not opend in any browser)
Type1 - You can set the process output is document variable, this PDF may contain your static/dynamic message and this PDF. But with this method result PDF opens in new window, host pdf will be also stayed and may make readonly after submission success.
Type2 - If the process output is string, it cannot handle this situation, may get the content type exception while receiving the result string, because.
Used all of the above methods in various situations and it worked without any issues.
